Rapid Fire/Master’s Call/Disengage: 30 Focus.

Concussive Shot/Tranquilizing Shot: 35 Focus.

Shot/Chimera Shot /Explosive Shot: 45 Focus.

Generates 9 Focus per shot (or 12 per second instead of 6). Below, we have listed some examples of how we intend Focus costs to operate: Hunters will generate roughly 6 Focus per second, slightly less than rogues' Energy generation rate of around 10 Energy per second. It will not be affected by Intellect at all. Focus generates much like Energy, by building up.

Hunters will no longer use mana instead the class will use Focus.

Here we come to the meat of the upcoming hunter changes. The hunter can move and set traps when under Camouflage, and will receive a damage bonus when attacking while under Camouflage (which will then break the effect). The character would still be subject to melee or area-of-effect attacks, and dealing or taking damage will break the Camouflage effect. No global cooldown.Ĭamouflage (level 85): The hunter enters an obscured state that prevents him or her from taking ranged damage. This provides the current Freezing Arrow treatment to all traps and, as a result, we will be removing the current ability Freezing Arrow. Trap Launcher (level 83): When used, the next trap can be shot to a location within 40 yards. This will give hunters an alternative to Steady Shot on heavily-armored targets, and we will have talent incentives in the Beast Mastery tree to make this a signature shot. This ability will share a cooldown with Steady Shot. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the new hunter abilities!Ĭobra Shot (level 81): A new shot that deals Nature damage instead of Physical damage.

The information you’re about to read is certainly not complete, and is only meant to act as a preview of some of the exciting new things to come. Here, we will explore the changes that are being made to the gun-wielding, pet-training hunter.

With the upcoming World of Warcraft: Cataclysm many game elements will be changing, and each class will be receiving a number of tweaks.
